Apzu

The sword of Lapis Lazuli DiademYour fullness and strength is my delight

Edin Na Zu, Edin Na Zu

The stars have spoken to meThey've told me the tale of your pastBattles were clashed by youLong before the cosmos existedO' mountains of MashuPlease help me to find the grey stoneI lost it, yet it's symbol unequals your race

I am in search of the Northern Nineveh;it's beyond the hills of Zagros

I thrust my sword onto the veil, and then, in the EarthReversed lightning strikes Sumerian sandsThey glance at me with eyes of Sunkun VarloorniTheir eyes flare red with glowing embersFollow the path of gold and ye shall find the symbols:Arra, Agga, and BandarIn my sleeping village of Bet Durrabia,Shabatu forces the nineteenth hour

Ye go to thy Apzu; the unsightly abyss of EniduYe go to thy Apzu; the impious axis of Enidu

I have traveled beneth the seasin search of our master's palaceI have finally found the grey stoneof the immemorial ones

I have raised my armies in the landsof the eastern, summoning hordesI have seen Ngga, God of Heathens,as my sword Diadem gleams

The cosmos shall be greeted from the blood of thez serpentA serpent well known as Tehom Mummu TiamatMan shall be greeted from the blood of KinguThy queen of mashu will haunt the vision of your breed

O' my queen, I feel your skin of white,I touch your breasts of life,yet there's a battle I must fight
